ThrustSSC has begun high-speed testing yesterday with a successful run to 230mph. Modifications to the suspension settings were identified and are in progress.
The next run of the car is planned for tomorrow, Friday 15th November.
Please check our Runs Database for the very latest information on the progress of ThrustSSC - the database is always updated as soon as possible after the car runs - and always before any report is written and published.
'De-fodding’ - collecting all stones and other debris - is in progress. Tracks 14, 15, 16 and 17 (of a total of seventeen) are completed and tracks 3, 4, and 5 are approaching completion. Once these three tracks have been done, tracks 1 and 2 will receive the attentions of the fodding team.
An inspection of Track 17 which was used for yesterday's run will be made today to assess the impact of the car on the desert surface.
The team equipment, including car, Merlo, Supacats, Pit Station Trailer and tools are now on site at the Desert Pits. The car is housed in an inflatable Aireshelta when being worked on.
